Lief,
I really think you are being hackish with this post. No offense, but you have failed to consider some important points.
1. The private sector will solve the problem. Now that government is out of the mix, private businesses (also known as the road and bridge fairies) will band together to pave roads, provide ambulance service and fire protection and remove trash and weeds. That's how it always happens when we slay the beast that is big guv'mint.
2. Churches and charities will step up to the plate and pick up the slack. True, they already have their hands full what with sheltering the homeless, visiting the sick, feeding the hungry and organizing international relief efforts. But they can do more. By starving big guv'mint, we'll be enabling our citizens to embrace the better angels of their nature.
3. Along those lines -- donations, donations, donations! Freedom-loving 'murricans don't approve of theft, which is what taxation of any kind is. But they DO approve of generosity. And so as soon as the taxing stops, look for the financial donations to start pouring in. Why, Colorado Springs will be so flush with cash from the donation fairies that they'll have to hand the money to other cities and counties that have killed the beast.
4. Crime? Feh! Our citizenry will be heavily armed and we won't have to be content with simple handguns, shotguns or .22 rifles either. We'll have arsenals inside our homes because, after all, the Second Amendment clearly guarantees the right to own dirty bombs, bazookas and .30 caliber belt-fed machine guns. Those criminal bastards won't dare mess with the good people of Colorado Springs.
Please Lief. Stop being such a hack!!
LOL
